I remember paying Orange £20 to unlock a Nokia a few years ago (this was in the BB5 era when you couldn't use an online code generator and I don't think anyone had yet invented hardware for the market stall types to use). Before Apple had even thought of making a mobile phone.
It's nothing to do with Apple, as others have said the likes of Vodafone unlock their iPhones for free.
Out of interest, does Apple track who has what handset? Can you get Vodafone to unlock an Orange iPhone for example?
